Culture iMovie Blog Post

1. Post your movie to your blog. Number and answer the following questions:



2. Identify your team's topic.
- My team's topic was Peoria Notre Dame Men and Women's Swimming and Diving teams.

3. Describe your role on the team.
- What I did for the project was edit the music and timing on the slide transition. I have had more experience with iMove than my other teammates so when they had something they did not know how to do I would help them or take over the task. I helped pick the themes for the slides, transitions, and texts.

4. What did you learn from being a part of this team?
- I learned that dividing up the work evenly, and then reviewing everyone's work and research is the best way to get the project done quickly and efficiently. Keep your group members updated on what you are doing and check their statuses on what they are doing too. Work together as much as you can so one person is not stuck with the entire project or you're not doing it last minute.

5. What went well for you as a team?
- We got all of our information and images together easily. Our research was accurate and on topic. We all had certain tasks, or we would all do research one day, and then pool all of our ideas together at once. We were on task every class and got the project done days before it was due, so we had time to add fun effects or add little details.

6. What did not go well for you as a team?
- I thought our project was done successfully without any errors or delays. The only thing is that we had to figure most of the very detailed things such as all the video complications out and get everything perfect for it.

7. Describe the process from storyboarding through the movie creation. Did ideas/concepts/focus change from one kind of technology to the other? If so, how?
- We took the storyboard and exported it into our documents. From there we made different slides with words, information, videos, or just pictures related to our topic. We just added more detail or found more appropriate things to add to the movie that were different from the storyboard. 

8. What new tools and techniques did you learn by doing this project?
- I already knew how to make an iMovie, but I discovered new tools and techniques to add the videos, enhance them and the pictures, find and add transitions to mix it up a little. I found many new themes and creative styles. I also learned how to insert and edit music into the movie.

9. For what other classes, situations, uses could this type of project be adapted?
- I can see me using this project for French class or Biology class. I can use it for big presentations in college, or once I graduate and get a job. It really captures the message of the topic because of the different effects, styles, and ideas you can throw into it to make it more exciting and a lot less boring.

10. How did you use the transformative property of borrowed images, music, and information to comply with the Copyright Law of 1976?
- I used a work cited at the end, which cited all my sources that gave the owner or creator credit for their work.

11. Would you do another project like this on your own? Why? Why not?
- Yes I would. It was a pretty straight forward project. It could be done very easily if you just followed the steps. I had so many opportunities to use my own creativities.
